Well, we are nearing our departure for Kenai Alaska. William graduates this Friday and we are just crazy busy trying to get things rapped up for our move. In the last few days we gave Winnie (our motorhome) a new coat of paint. She's a true beauty now!
Below is the record King Salmon which maybe William can top this summer.



Longtime Alaskan and resident of Soldotna, Les Anderson (in orange rain suit) admiring his catch while a friend holds it up for photos. This picture was taken in the early afternoon and after the King Salmon had been officially weighed on a certified scales at Echo Lake Meat Lockers. The official weight in the record books is 97 pounds 4 ounces. The fish was not weighed until several hours after it was caught and Fish & Game estimates that due to evaporative weight loss, the fish may have broken the hundred pound mark if it had been weighed promptly after being caught.
